Pheramosa QC [0/2]

[GeniusFromHoenn]

[Overview]
Pheromosa is a the fastest Pokémon in the tier, outspeeding even Calyrex shadow at +speed nature. It's a fast U-turner and brings out teammates in favourable situations. It's only backdown is its frailness yet it has incredible attack and special attack to make up for it.


[SET]
name: Pheromosa
move 1: U-turn
move 2: Close combat
move 3: Triple axel
move 4: Throat Chop / Rapid Spin
item: Choice Band / Heavy-Duty Boots
ability: Beast boost
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
+Speed nature to outspeed calyrex-shadow. U-turn to maintain momentum. Triple axel for the plenty dragons in the tier, rayquaza, zygarde etc. Throat chop for coverage against calyrex-shadow and to take on chipped necrozma-DM. Rapid spin to remove hazards from your side.

Potential team mates------->
necrozma-dm: Offensive and Defensive dragon dance can be easily paired with pheromosa. necrozma-DM is stopped by zygarde but pheromosa can easily take care of zygarde. Defensive necrozma-dm can also be a switch in to multiple attacks which can finish off pheromosa.

Yveltal: Yveltal can deal with calyrex shadow when it is scarf. It takes care of necrozma-DM which can take a hit from pheromosa and OHKO back. It can also bring in pheromosa safely with U-turn.




[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
====
Special attacking Mosa: though niche, it can set up a quiver dance and late game clean with focus blast, bug buzz and ice beam. It's not very viable as it's main stab isn't very accurate and ubers is full of bulky Pokemon like necrozma-DM and ho-oh to tank all hits from it.

Checks and Counters
====

**Bulky Pokemon**: Bulky mons such as Bulky Kyogre sets, which can take a hit, can most of the time OHKO back.

**Scarf Pokémon**: Mons such as scarf calyrex shadow and scarf G-Darm can revenge kill pheromosa easily.

Hello!

Just from looking at the initial draft of this, I can tell you that the correct spelling should be Pheromosa. Additionally, a positive speed nature should be used on its main set, as the main caveat of using Pheromosa is to have an offensive check to Calyrex-S, since Pheromosa naturally outspeeds it. You may want to include Choice Band as its first set, a Rapid Spin support set with Heavy Duty Boots, and potentially a Scarf Set in Other Options for revenge killing. In all three cases, Pheromosa should always run a speed boosting nature, as its speed tier puts it ahead of Timid Calyrex-S.

So moves to consider include Triple Axel, U-Turn, Close Combat, Throat Chop, and Rapid Spin. Good luck!

Thanks for your words. I'll implement +spe nature.

hoennseptile this has been in WIP for about a month now, when were you going to bring it into QC stage?

 

[GeniusFromHoenn]

Hi, the QC team would like to see these sets featured instead of the current Quiver Dance one. QD is extremely fringe and doesn't take advantage of a lot of mosa's strengths like outspeeding Pokemon such as Calyrex-S to OHKO them, while not even being able to pivot on the mons that wall it. The set comments even starts by saying most mosa sets are physical, so those physical ones should 100% be the focus. QD could probably fit in the other options section since it's a cool tech, but generally the main sets are in the strategy dex or are additional ones brought up to be added as new good ones. Sorry for bringing this up a little late but once these sets are the ones talked about I'll look at it again.

Sets

Pheromosa @ Choice Band / Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- U-turn
- Triple Axel
- Throat Chop / Rapid Spin

Edit: merged the sets, were separated by mistake, band and boots are super similar so it can be one

Hi, locking this thread and reassigning after discussing with the QC team and deciding that in its current state it isn't up to standards after being in WIP for a few months. It lacks a lot of key information and is very bare in what it mentions, leaving it to likely take a ton of work to get up to a full analysis. Hopefully this doesn't discourage you from writing in the future, we're always looking for active contributors who work to improve!
